Following their farewell, Li Su and Liu Xinshui reached Li Su’s ancestral home, where they met his daughters with exceptional spiritual potential.

“They indeed possess three-grade spiritual roots. That’s remarkable,” Li Su commented. One of his daughters, with three-grade spiritual roots, was a little over ten years old and displayed no shyness, curiously examining Liu Xinshui.

Liu Xinshui smiled and tried to engage with her, but the young girl asked innocently, “Auntie, are you so beautiful because you’re Daddy’s concubine?”

This question left Liu Xinshui momentarily speechless, and then came Meng Meng’s remark, “How did he manage to take so many concubines?”

Subsequently, Liu Xinshui realized the extent of the Li family and the number of concubines Li Su had. Despite her thousand-year lifespan and leadership role, she couldn’t hide her astonishment.

“Could he have used elixirs or a cultivation method like dual cultivation?” Liu Xinshui briefly wondered, but she quickly discarded the idea. Such elixirs didn’t usually lead to offspring and could harm women. Li Su’s women, on the other hand, appeared healthy.

As for dual cultivation, it didn’t typically result in offspring, and considering Li Su’s numerous descendants, it didn’t make sense. Moreover, dual cultivation typically requires cultivators of similar levels.

Liu Xinshui couldn’t help but grow more intrigued about Li Su. She took Li Su’s two daughters with four-grade spiritual roots and visited the city of Luo.

However, this was not a significant challenge for Li Su and the Holy Maiden of the Quiet Moon Sect. After a month of traveling across the vast sea on their flying boat, they reached their destination. The endless expanse of the sea explained the lack of activity in the Demon Abyss during their journey, raising concerns about potential attacks on the stronghold.

The Holy Maiden descended into the sea, with Li Su closely following. She led the way, traveling hundreds of meters underwater towards the small island. While the visible part of the island was only a few square meters above the sea, it extended significantly below the water’s surface, reaching several hundred meters.

Inside the island, they encountered a concealed array that allowed passage underwater, leading to a moderately sized cave where various medicinal herbs were cultivated. “The spiritual energy here is quite favorable,” Li Su commented. The Holy Maiden explained, “Yes, this place benefits from the flow of spiritual veins. I discovered it by chance and established a secret base to cultivate these medicinal herbs.”

With their mission accomplished, they began their return journey. It took another month to reach the Hopeful Immortality Region. Li Su then proceeded directly to the Flying Immortal Sect.

Once in the Flying Immortal Sect’s alchemy room, Li Su expressed his frustration, saying, “Another failure.” Crafting the Moon Dust Pill proved challenging due to the Holy Maiden’s incomplete recipe knowledge. She knew the ingredients and the necessary medicinal herbs but lacked the exact recipe. Without it, crafting the pill successfully was a daunting task.

Fortunately, they had enough herbs for Li Su to make around ten attempts. However, two failures had already occurred, leaving him with eight more chances. Li Su acknowledged that my current alchemical experience might not be sufficient. He pondered the situation, recognizing the difficulty of crafting the pill with only the herbs and no complete recipe.

“Silent Moon, it seems we’ll have to be patient,” Li Su remarked, his eyes briefly flickering to the system panel. What were they waiting for? They were awaiting his impending substantial reward.

“Of course,” Silent Moon responded calmly. She maintained her trust in Li Su despite his two previous failures.

Their patience was rewarded shortly after when another one of Li Su’s descendants, blessed with spiritual roots, was born. With a total of 200 descendants boasting spiritual roots, the first wave of their significant reward arrived as anticipated.

Just as I expected, Li Su thought and smiled. This reward consisted of 2000 years of cultivation and 2000 years of experience and a new option, body-refining cultivation.
